Tl;dr - Saw a girl I found cute, asked her out, made her blush, could tell she was attracted to me. Ever since I've discovered my new found confidence I no longer feel hopeless. When you feel hopeless, obsessions are meaningless because you know you'll never take action. Now that I have taken action, I feel like it is truly in my control now.
Update Present Day - I saw her again for the first time since I posted that. She saw me, immediately smiled and looked down. She's got a twin sister who froze up and started twirling her hair and got all nervous. I guess what I'm saying is - I know I have some element of attraction towards these girls.
But as all obsessions go (and this is the ironic bit), you're usually not obsessing over the best looking/hottest girl.
No, this girl is just cute.... I don't even know her personality. In my head, I'm building her up to be something she's not. I want to stop thinking about her, I want to put this to rest. I know that she's taken, but I'm still constantly thinking about her. I know it sounds pathetic, but I simply CANNOT get her out of my head. I do a ton of productive stuff still, but this is making it feel like it's crippling me.
ANY help would be awesome.
Oh and don't say "Find another girl". To me that's like saying "Just choose another drug instead". It's not just the girl, it's the addiction and obsession as a whole. It's not healthy, for any girl.
